- Inv carryi Aout the present invention in practical term I preferably embody the same as seen in detail in the accompanying draw# ings, in which 1 indicates a suitable framework supporting the operating parts, .Within which framework is journaled a. shaft 2, ex-

tending transversely across the rear thereof. A. crank or other suitable operating means 3 is connected with the shaft 2 for facilitating actuation of said shaft, and said Shaft rigidly carries near ythat end carrying crank 3 a cam 4, adapted in operation to engage the antifrictiorhpulle 5, journaled in the end of a lever 6. The ever 6 is journaled `at the end opposite that carrying roller 5 on a stubshaft 7, carried by frame 1. A lever 8 is also journaled on the shaft? and normally lies at a straight angle with respect to the lever 6, said lever 8 being provided with alaterallyprojecting bracket 9, formed with a socket 10, inclosing one end of a spring 11, said s ring 11 having its opposite end engaging t e lever 6, sov that in operation when the lever' is pressed rearwardly the spring 11 is adapted to be compressed for exerting pres- IOO of, and a crank-arm 13 depends from the end of said shaft, saiif crank being provided with a wrist-pin 14, engaged by a link 15, extending rearwardly and carrylng at its rear'end a pin 16, extending through a slot 17, formed in the side of the frame l. The slot 17 is arranged in the horizontal plane of the lower end of lever 8, and said lower end is preferably curved to fit the contour of the end of link l5, so that when said lever is actuated said link is adapted to be moved longitudinally, subject to the movement of Ithe lever. A fixed shaft 18 is arrangedtransversely of the framework 1 parallel to and spaced -slightly above and in the rear of the shaft 12. A

sleeve 19 is feathered onto the shaft' 12, free' to move longitudinally thereof, but is retained by a suitable key 20 from rotation independently of said shaft. An arm 21 extends rearwardly and downwardly from each end of the sleeve 19, the free ends of said arms carrying journals 22, projecting laterally from boxes 22a, slidingly inclosing the sides of a card-chute 23, said boxes carrying a shaft 22, extending transversely of the chute 23. The chute 23 is supportedwithin the framework 1 by means of eyes 24 24, slidably surrounding shafts 25 25, fixed within the framework 1, whereby the chute 23 is adapted to be moved laterally while held against vertical movement. "he arms 21 are arranged to extend to the opposite edges of the chute 23, so that lateral movement of arms 21 is adapted to move said chute correspondingly, the said arms 2l, however, being free to swing vertically independently of the chute. A spring 21 is connected to frame 1 at one end and at its other end engages a lug 21, extending from one end of arms 21, said spring being designed for effecting return of the parts after an operation thereof. The shaft 22'1J carries a fixed jaw 26 and a pivoted jaw 27, said jaws opening upwardly and positioned for receiving a card deposited in the upper end of chute 23. The pivoted jaw 27 is provided with an arm 28 at one end, carrying a roller 29, adapted to engage a cam-surface 30 upon the respective edge of the lower portion of the chute 23, said cam extending longitudinally of the sideof the chute for producing an elevation of the arm 28 when the shaft 22b is swung downwardly for producing a clamping action of the jaws 26 and 27 and for retaining th'e same in a clamping position as long as the shaft 22" is held in its lowered position. A carriage 31 is arranged to move transversely of the frame in the rear thereof and is carried by eyes 32, surrounding shaft 12 outside the ends of the sleeve 19, and similar eyes 33 inclosing shaft 18. The carriage 31 is provided with a longitudinal rack 34, meshing with an actuating-pinion 35, fixed to a shaft 36, journaled in brackets .37 37, projecting inwardly from one side of the framework 1. A suitable cover or casing 38 is preferably arranged above the main portion of the mechanism, and the shaft 36 extends through said cover 38 and is provided with an actuating-crank 39, said crank being hinged, as at 40, intermediate its length and provided with a spring 41, extending longitudinally thereof and depressing the free end of said crank and normally retaining the same in a lowered position. The free end of the crank 39 is provided with an operatinghandle 42 and a lug 43, projecting in the opposite direction from the handle 42 and adapted to engage notches 44 44, arranged at various points in the cover 38. Thus it will be seen that the knob 42 of crank 39 may be elevated until -the lug 43 is free from engagement with any of the notches 44, and the said handle may then be swung at will, movement of the handle actuating gear and driving the rack 34 longitudinally with respect to itself and transversely with respect to the framework 1, such movement of the rack of course effecting a similar movement of the carriage and its eyes 32, which actuate, the sleeve 19 and parts connected therewith above described.

The notches 44` may be in any suitable number and may be provided with indications-such, for instance, as in or out, as indicated in Fig. 6 of the drawings, to correspond with similar indications upon the card illustrated in Fig. 15,.,of.the drawings.

A shaft 45 is journaled transversely lofthe framework 1 in the front of the chute 23, and said shaft carries a printing-wheel 46, fixed thereto and-having upon its periphery typenumerals ranging from 1" to 59, inclusive, and one type-numeral representing two ciphers, (00,) all of said type-numerals being spaced apart equidistant throughout said periphery, so that in operation when said disk 46'is rotated with a ste -by-ste movement, as hereinafter fully the time in minutesmay be printed upon a card brought in contact with the eriphery of said disk. The disk 46 is rotated) with the shaft 45 and is designed to make one complete revolution each hour, the type-numerals upon the periphery of said disk .representing the minutes of the hour, and said disk will hereinafter therefore be called the minute-wheel.

One end of shaft 45 projects beyond its bearing in the frame 1 and carries a suitable beveled gear-wheel 47, meshing with a bev- 'eled gear-wheel 48, carried by a shaft 49,

journaled in brackets 5() 50, projecting laterally from the side of the frame 1. As seen in- Fig/B, the shaft 49 carries a wheel 51 at its er1/.h opposite the end carrying gear-wheel 48, the wheel 51 being provided with a plurality of radial teeth 52, spaced. apart a distance sufficient for receivimlr therebetween an actuatby the lower en d of an ing-pin 53, carried elbow-lever 54, which lever is pwoted, as at IOO escribe( lad . 55, to afweighted block 56, the upper or free end of the lever `54 being provided with a Weight 57 and the lower end of said lever being-retained in its lowered position by an arm 58, projecting laterally from the block 56-and adapted to contact with a lug 59, rojectinglaterally from the lower end 'of the ever 54. The weight 57 thus in operation v tends -to retain the lug 59 in contact with the lower' end of the arm 58 ,said arm 58 serving to prevent too great elevationof'the lower arm of said elbow-lever. The block 5,6 is fixed to a vertically-moving shaft 60. The upper fend of the shaft 60 is engaged byfthe free end ,tif a pivotally-mounted lever 61, carried by a suitable casing 62, suitably supported above the Yframework 1. .The casing 62 is '64, having six teeth. The pinion 64-is iixed to a shaft 65, carrying a cam-wheel 66, provided on its periphery with six cams 67 the periphery of said wheel .66 being engaged by a depending lug l68, carried by lever 61, ythe lever 61 being arranged above the cam-wheel with the six teeth of pin r 66. Thus Ait will'be seen that in operation when the wheeli63 is rotated by the clock mechanism, above mentioned, but notfillustrated, said wheelwill make a complete revolution i-n an hour, and its s` ty teeth meshing ici/iK 64 will cause the same to rotate ten times during the hour, whereby the cam-wheel 66 is also caused to rotate ten times during the hour, and each timethe wheel/,66 rotates the lever 61 is elevated land dropped six times, once for each of the cams 67, so that with each revolution of the wheel 63 the lever 61- will be raised and dropped lsixty times, the dropping of the lever61 being timed by the division vof the cam-wheel 64 into the six equal cams 67 so that the vertical shaft 60 will be reciprocated once each minute.

' as the cam-,wheel 66 rotates theengagement gradual elevation of the lever 61, and when the lug 68 arrives 'at the end of the cam the lever will be permitted to drop suddenly. A detent-lever 69 is journaled on `a bracket 70, projecting from the frame 1, and said. lever y1s provided with a pin 71, of approximately the same size as pin 53, said pin 71 being normally held in contact with the wheel 51 between two of the teeth 52 by means of a retention-spring 72 engaging the lower free end of the lever 69, so that in4 operation the y wheel 52 ymay be rotated when sufficient pressure is brought to bear upon the same for causing the pin 71`to ride .over the teeth 52, and said wheel 51 will be held stationary at all other times.' Now it is to be observed .that when the shaft is raised by the action ofthe ycam-wheel 66 and lever 61 the pin 53 Itis to be observed that connected by a sprin f'will leave its'engagement with the wheel 51 between the teeth'52, move outwardly sufiiciently to ch dr the next upper tooth 52, and after clearing said tooth will swing laterally under the action of-weight 57 until the lug 59 contactswith arm 58. l When the parts have been elevated to their highest position, as indicated in full lines in Fig. 3, the lug 68 is just read to drop off of the particular cam67 whic it engages. ,As the said lug drops oif the said cam the parts assume .the position indicated in Fig. 3, the pin 52 'coming in contact' with the wheel o1, above rthe tooth over-which it rode when being elevated, and the-weight of the block 56 and zother parts is sufficient Jfor causing the parts Ito continue their descent until the pin 53 assumes the position indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 3a. It will thus be seen that the wheel 51 is actuated with a step-by-step movement, one step being taken at the ex- Lpi'rationlof each minute, and each step of th(` wheel 51 causes a correspondingly forward :step of the gear 47 and the shaft 45, whereby Athe minute-wheel 46 is fed forwardly.

A sleeve 73 surrounds the shaft 45 and extends from the minute-wheel 46 to that side ofthe framework 1 opposite the side upon which the link 15 is arran ed. The sleeve 73 iat its inner end carries a isk. 74, provided on rits periphery with twenty-four type-numerjals, arranged in two series of from 1 to 12,7 inclusive, and spaced apart equidisl,tant upon the periphery ofsaid disk, the said `disk being adapted to be rotated with a stepby-step movement, one' step beingv taken each hour, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, so that said type-numerals indicate l'the hoursof the day, and said disk'will herein- L after be'known as the hour-wheel. A shaft f7 5 is rigidly mounted transversely of the -framework 1 parallel to and below and in the :rear of shaft 45. tendsupwardly andforwardly from the shaft 5 75 and is provided with a laterally-projecting in 77, upon which is journaled a pawl 78. ofone of its cams with the lug 68 'will cause a :F

- 78 4and approximately ata right" angle to the body of the pawl is a iin er 79, which lies A bracket or arm 76 exrojecting from the pivoted end of the pawlv loutside the vertical plane o the pawl and is 80 with. the arm or bracket 76,whereby said pawl is normally rejtained with its free end incontact with-thel periphery of a disk 81, fixed to the sleeve 73,

:contiguous-to the ,hour-wheel 74. The periphery of the wheel 81 is provided with :twenty-four teeth 82, dividing said peri ih- .ery into twenty-four spaces, the spaces' e-v tween each two of said teeth being of a size ada ted to receive the free end of the awl 78, saidp pawl being designed to norma ly have its free end lying betw en two of said teeth for retaining the disk 81 againstmovement. "A sleeve 83 is rotatably mountedu onthe' shaft75 and carrieslan arm-84, exten ing up--r roo ITO

wardly and forwardly therefrom. The arm 84 is provided with a laterally-projecting pin 85, resting upon a cam 86, iixed to the hub of the minute-wheel L16. An arm 87 extends from the sleeve 83 at one side of the plane of and toward the disk 81, said arm 87 being provided with a finger 88 at its end, adapted in operation to engage the teeth 82 of wheel 81, one at a time, for causing said wheel to move forwardly. A pawl 89 is pivoted to the arm 87 in a vertical plane lying between the disk 81 and the hour-wheel 74, said pawl occupying the vertical plane of finger 7 9 and being adapted to engage the same when the arm 87 is moved for actuating the wheel 81, such movement occurring at the time the pin of arm 84 drops off the shouldered portion of the cam 86. The pawl 89 is pressed o utwardly by a spring and is limited in its outward movement by a suitable shoulder` formed on the pawl in the rear of its pivot and designed to engage the arm 87. Thus in operation it will be seen that when the minute-wheel 46 has completed a revolution, starting with the two cipher type-numeral and en in With the 59 type-numeral, the cam 86 wi l have completed a revolution and will permit the finger 85 to drop down the shouldered ortion of such cam, causing the sleeve 83 to e rotated and the arm 87 swung in such manner as to cause engagement of the awl 89 with the finger 79 for causing the paw 78 to be moved pivotally out of contact with the disk 8l, whereupon the finger 88 enga es one of the teeth 82 and actuates the dis 8l one step. Thus it will be seen that as the minute-wheel rotates step by step the same will upon completing a rotation impart a step of rotation to the hour-wheel, the

ourwheel moving in an opposite direction to the movement of the minute-wheel.

The sleeve 7 3 carries at its outer end next to the frame 1 a cam 8?, the periphery of which cam is engaged by a lug 83', rojecting laterally from a lever 84', pivoted)interme diete-its length u on a stub-shaft 85', eX- tending inwardly om the side of frame 1. The.lever 84 extends to a point near the front of the framework and carries at its front end a pivotally-mounted pawl 86', adapted in operation to engage a ratchetwheel 87 for actuating the same, said ratchetwheel being normally held against rotation by any suitable detent 88. A spring 89 is carried by the lever 84 and engages pawl 86 for causing the free end to normally lie contiguous to the under edge of the lever, but permitting the same to swing downwardly and outwardly forpurposes hereinafter speciiied. Aspring 90 is fixed to the side of the frame 1 at one end and at the other engages the front end of lever 84', so that in operation when thecam 82 has completed a rotation and the lug 83 sli s oif the shoulder of said cam the lever wil be swung upon its pivot under the action of the spring 90 and the lug 83 caused to engage the portion of the periphery of athe cam 82 having the shortest radius-that is to say, the lug will be caused to drop ofl' the shoulder and moved up into contact with the smaller portion of the cam.

The ratchet-wheel 87 is provided with seven ratchet-teeth, and in operation when the spring 90/ is permitted to draw the free or front end of lever 84 downwardly the pawl 86 engages one of said ratchet-teeth and causes the ratchet to move downwardly one step, the detent 86 lifting against the pressure of its retaining-spring and dropping into contact with the next succeeding tooth. The ratchet-wheel 87 is carried by and fixed to the sleeve 91, rotatably surrounding and supported by a shaft 92, rigidly iixed in the framework 1 transversely thereof and approximately in the vertical plane of shaft 2 and below the same. A disk 93 is rotatably mounted upon the shaft 92 and is provided with seven radial notches 03', being graduated from the deepest at one point of the periphery of the disk to the shallowest at a point contiguous thereto. All of said notches are erually spaced apart and regularly arrange in succession. The said notches are adapted, as will hereinafter appear, to control actuation of the parts relative to the day of such actuation, and the said disk 93 will therefore hereinafter be called the "daywheel. The disk 93 is mounted contiguous to the Side wall of the frame 1, formed with the slot 17, and said disk is adapted to have its notches 93 brought successively into register with said slot, so that pin 16, which extends through and beyond said slot, may cnter said notches during the longitudinal' travel of the link 15, and said notches are in practice adapted to limit the extent of longitudinal movement of the pin 15, as will hereinafter more fully appear'. The disk Q3 is provided with a laterally-extending sleeve or oss 94, surrounding the shaft 02. '.lo the boss 94 is fixed a locking-disk 95, provided with seven radial notches 96, arranged at such points on the periphery of the disk 05 as to come opposite the center of the peripheryof the disk 93 between two oi" the notches 93. A stub-shaft 97 projects inwardly from one of the sides of frame 1 just above the day- Wheel 93 and disk 05 and carries a rotatablymounted sleeve 98.

Extending from the sleeve 98 is a dog 09, provided with a nose 100, adapted in operation to engage the notches 96 for normally locking the disk against rotation. A camwheel 101 is fixed to the end of the sleeve 01, and said cam-wheel is provided with seven cams 102 of equal size and projecting from the periphery of said wheel. A 'finger 103 ifs cari ied by the sleeve 98 and projects down'- wardlyinto Contact with the periphery of IIO IIS

A The slot 106 ermits asuftlcient' movement .ofl the 'spin y or allowing the disk-.104'- and the ratchet- "wheel/101 to-fm'ove' the required' vdistance for 116,' having its lower end rotatably surround- 'ing' a; shaft 117-. vThe shaftv 117 isjenrnaled Tin theframework ,1transverselyA hereof and is :surrounded by a coiled sprintl 118, (bestl'v end to one side of the frame 1 and atthe i mer being. normally held against such play.' by a spring 120 engaging a projection 121 of y the bracket 119 at one endand at the other end engaging a socket formed in the handle 116,' said spring 120 normally pressingthe hammer .in a direction away from the printinfr-wheels. A

Ihe bracket 122 is carried'by one of the sides of the fra-me 1 and extends inwardly transversely 'of the frame and at its 'inner'end supports a pin 123, pivotallyV carrying a lever 124, tlieupper end of which is biiurcated and carriesbetweenthe arms of such bifurcation an antifriction-roller 125, in operation engaging a cam 126, carried by and fixed to the shaft 2. -The spring 127 is carried by the bracket 122 and engages the lever 124 for retaining the Wheel 125 at all times in Contact with the periphery of the cam 126. The lower end of the lever 124 is bil'furcatedpas seen in Fig. 3, and pivotally carries a trigger 128, havin-g a lug 128 normallyengaging the lever 124, said trigger being formed with a point 128, normally yengaging a spur 129, projecting upwardly-from and formed integral with the bracket 119. An arm 130' ex- `.tends laterally from the trigger 128 and is penetrated by a pin 131, extending from the ever 124 -at right 'angles'to the arm 130.' The' arm 130 is formed With an aperture at the vpoint of enetration by the pin 131 of a size suliicient y greater than 4the pin' to permit pivotal swinging of the arm 130.. Thepin 131 extends longitudinally of a socket 131', formed in the lever 124, and is arranged, preferably, centrally of said socket. A coiled spring 132 4surrounds the pin 131 within'the socket 131 .and has one end fixed to the lever- 124 and the opposite end iixed to the arm 130, so that the outward pivotal movement,- of the arm 13() or movement away from the.l lever will cause expansionofj-the spring 132,

which spring normally tends to prevent vsuch movement ofthe arm 130, whereby the trigl ger 1281s normallyy retained l[against pivotal movement. i The' -arrangements therefore' rearwardswinging of the s ur 129, said s ur moving in the arc of a circ e, 'whereby w en .the lever 124 has nearly reached .the irnit of its movement the point 128 oli-trigger 128v the point 128 of the trigger 128 sl' -aofi the pointof the spur 129 the parts are ee to return to their former position under the action of the spring 118. ArEhe spring 1,18 acts with suilicient force for causing the hammer-114 not only toreturn to its former position, but to pass beyond its normal position against the pressure of spring 1-20 -imtil the-said hammer contacts withthe card contained within the chute23-and drives the same into contact with the ribboninterposed between the cardand the minute and hour wheels with sullii' cient force forcausing an impression upon said card. As soon as the stroke has been accomplished the spring .120. causes the hammer to move back toits normal position. 4

The cam 133 is carried by the shaft 45 and is provided withla single shoulder similar to lcam 82', said cam 133 being engaged by a pin 134,' extending outwardly from an armj135, fixed to a sleeve 1.36. The sleeve 136 is journaledupon a stub-shaft 137, projectingin-l wardly Jfrom one side of frame 1. .A spring 138' engages .the sleeve 136 for retain!l ing the pin 134 of lever 135 in contact with the `periphery-oi the .cam 133... An arm 137 extends Vupwardly from the sleeve 136 and carriesat its upper end a pivotally-rr )unted pawl'138, said -pawl being provided wi-t'h a suitable Yshoulderfor preventing the same ii-rom moving past-a given point in'one direction, but leaving the samefree to swing in the opposite direction. .A ratchet-Wheel139 is carried by a rotatably-mounted shaft 140, rotatably mounted transversely of' the framework 1. The shaft 140 carries a drum 141,

'divided' 'o'li'into Segen sections, 'one for each day of the weelr, and each section preferably containing the name of one of the days of the week, so that as said -drum is rotated the names ofthe successive days oi the week will Vappear oppositesa window 142 `in `thecover 1-38. Thus in operation each time the hour'- wheel completes a rotation '.the pin 134 will drop oli the shoulder'of the' cam' 133 and,

through the mechanism ,describedroduce ay v.forward step of the -drumltL/an the said drum, will thus always the day for .which the-machine is set."

In Fig. 15 1 have illustrated the preferred will slip over the point of the sp'urf12-9.'v As IIO form' of card adapted f or usel in connection -with the present improved recorder, and the salientA points of the card consist 'of the arrangemen tof vertical columns for indic'atin@l certaindivisions of'a day andthe horizonta. columns for indicating divisions of a week.

More spccically, thecard is preferably out- 2o and marked EXtraf/and under theword Extra. one ofthe columns marked In?? and lined by having two vertical columns marked Forenoon, one ofthe Forenoon".4 vertical columns being` marked' 1n and the' other p Out, the In colunm'xbeing. designed to receive an impression from the machinehow.- ing the time lof arrival in the forenoon of the party carrying the cai-(L The column marked Out is designed'to-'receive indications of' the time the f person possessing the card left work at noon. A second setofftwo vertical columns is provided and marked Afternoon, one of saidcolumns under f Forenoon being marked Sqn and the o therfoi1 said col- Q- umns being marked Out,.the rst being designed to receive indications of the time of return of theholder 'oi the card in the afternoon andthe column marked Out being designed to receive indications ofv the' time of departure in the evening.` 'For convenience 'a set of two vertical columns may be provided the other marked Out for indicating the time of arrival and departure of the holder oi the card outside of the regular business hours.

There may also=be provided a total'column, f

which may be fitted up for indicating the total time of the workman.' The card is, as

' above suggested, divided into a series of horizontal columns which run transversely of the vertical columns, and each is .adapted-to have a heading indicating one of the days of cates either the coming in or' the going out for the entire week. This card of course' y forms no 'part ofthe present invention, butI .is -described so that the operation of the present improved mechanism may the more readily be-understood.

`One complete operation of the present'im--- provedmechanism may be carried out somewhat as' followszrUponthe arrival of a workman inthe morning he inserts the card seen v inFig. 15) into the'chute 23,down whic the card descends until it comes'into lenga e- 'me'nt with the vclamping device lcarried y "the'arms The chute 23 constitutes a carlrier' Jfor said card, and said chute is designed, as heretoore set forth, to be positioned at difierentpoints transversely of the framework for ,presenting diierent vertical columns of the card to lthe minute and hour Wheels. Therefore, .in order that-the printing operatio'n upon the card may be made to appear in` the 1n vertical column of the Forenoon set of columns,4 the .operator Ipositions the. crank 39 with the lu 43 in the aperture 44 '65 corresponding tothe Y st vpoint marked In,-

as seen in As soon as the chute has thus been positioned the operator grasps thecrank?) and rotates the same, which, through cam 4 and levers 6 and 8, actuates link 1 5,-

and, through theicrankv 18, rocks the shaft12;

The rockingof shaft 12 causes the descent of the arms 21,which descent produces a clamping action'of-the clamp 'carried by s aidarms, due to tliieengagement of the roller 29 with cam-surfaces 30, whereby the card is drawn downwardly to a -distance relative to ,the

vamount rof rotation imparted to the shaft 12.

The-amount of-rotation ofthe shaft 12 must-- ofcourse be 'relative -to 'the amount of longitudinal movement imparted to the link 15, AYand said link will move to any extent which may `be vpermitted;subject i to the control 'ofl .the pin 16, extending through the slot 17-and into one of the notches 93 4ofthe day-wheel '93., For"'illustrationlsuppose that the arrival of the Particular workman operating 'the machine-isola Monday morning, The day-wheel will be' positioned with vthe deepest slot in `line withv the slot 17,-and

the 1 ink'15will therefore bepermitted to moveto itsl greatest extent. -The arms 21' must therefore have' their free ends travell I downwardly to the lowermost point of their movement, carrying the card just dropped in the chute 23 'downwardly' until the highest .point of the ,card to'be printed is 1opposite the desired type of the minute and hour wheels and Valso f opposite the hammer 114. This point' will be withinthe'horizontal columnindicated by the letter M., or

.roo

the' Monday horizontal column. i .Thechute j 23 has already been lmoved laterally to the reluired vextent for presentin" the vertical co umn of the card marked 1 under thegeneral heading Forenoon op osito: the

typev of the hour and minute whe, sand also opposite the hammeru11'4, which positioning 1 i o the card` insures lthe printing being done within the square 'formed bythe crossing of the `said verticaly and horizontalfcolumns.

I Ifo Therefore the printed indicationwill be that of the time of arrival in the orenoonof- Monday. After the card has been thus posi- .tioned the cam 126 actuates'lever 124 4and produces actuation of the hammer 114, -a's above described. As soon as the print;has

been made uponthe card by the stroke of the i hammer the parts are in osition for a second operation, it being un erstood, of course,vv

that the trigger 128` after .slipping over the spur 129 isbacked over said spur to-its former position, permitted .by the further movement ofthe cam 126 and effected through the actuation imparted to thelever 124 by the spri complete .the operatory may;y manually remove the 127. As soon as this operation is card, the said cardbeing returned toits raised position by the Iarras 21 under the action of the spring2-1, connected at oney end tothe frame 1 and`I` at the-,Qtheriendto' reo the lug 21, projecting downwardly from one of the arms 21. The spring 2l" is thus ai*- ranged for' elevating the arms 21 as soon as the cam 4 is swung to a position for permitting return of the levers 6 and 8, whereby the parts are designed to be restored to their forl mer position and are ready for a second operation as soon as the' introduced card within the chute'has been removed.

l After the first' operation Vis complete a second operation may be carried out in exactly the same manner as the first, and so on 'thro/ii hout the day, the crank 39 being adjuste to the various points of In and Out relativeto the time of day of the operation, and the operation of the clockactuated mechanism, as above described, continues throu hout the day and .at midnight releases t e day-wheel above mentioned. The clock-actuated mechanism also shifts the drum 141for indicating the next day. The day-wheel is thus in a released condition, and so'remains until the machine f is operated for the first time during Tuesday,

it being presumed that the operation above described was on Monday. The first operation of the machine on Tuesday will effect the swinging of thelevei -109 and the positioning of the day-wheel' with the next tothe deepest notch 93in register with the slot 17. While I have fully set forth all the details of one embodiment' of the present improved 4mechanism IA shall of course feel at liberty to deviate therefrom .with respect to size, sha e, and arrangement of the minor parts an in fact to any extent within the spirit and scope o the present invention.
